Getting started

Welcome to High-Power Rocketry!

If you are reading this you must be interested in learning more about rocketry. This is the best place to get started.

High Power Rocketry involves designing, building, and flying high power rockets. As a club at NC State, HPRC builds rockets for rocketry competitions, traditionally NASA Student Launch. However, rocketry is also a hobby that people can just do on their own. As a member of HPRC, we allow you to use our lab space to build your own rocket. We encourage members to do this and to earn certifications because it is fun and is a great experience.

If you are not a member of NC State HPRC, still welcome! I hope that you can find this wiki helpful on your rocketry journey.
